Anvil Tattoo is now my new home for any current and future tattoo work. The shop is in a great…read morelocation, easy to get to and very welcoming. The inside is very modern and has a cool vibe. I've met all the artists and they all welcome you as soon as you walk in. My artist is Kaythleen. She is awesome. I met her when she was an apprentice. I was looking for an artist that would do a memorial to one of my Frenchies who passed away. It had to be perfect. After speaking to her about my idea(s), she offered to me, with 100% confidence that she could do a "Realism" portrait of him. After putting my trust in her, she came through. She blew me away with the final stroke of her tattoo gun. I couldn't have been happier. Following that, I asked her to do a portrait of my other Frenchie. She immediately said yeas and was very excited to continue this journey. She delivered another masterpiece. Now I have both of my boys on my leg. We talked and discussed my next project. By this time Kaythleen had earned the title of Tattoo Artist. She was no longer an apprentice. I had been wanting to do a full leg sleeve of the Darkside characters of Star Wars. Mainly sidious, maul, and vader. She was again very excited to take on this challenge and make it happen. I come up with the concept and some artwork, she spins it in her mind and comes up with the layout. Somfar on this journey, it has been nothing short of amazing. We have just finished all the up to my knee and are currently working on going up the leg now. I get so many compliments on the artwork, layout, and her ability to make it all flow. I can't wait for the next session. She is absolutely amazing, hardworking, dedicated, and takes pride in what she does. Thank you to Kaythleen for making this a reality for me .

Finding the right artist to pay homage to our family's beloved guardians was not easy, but I'm very…read morefortunate to have entrusted Kaythleen with her steady body of work. While we were already impressed by her b/w portraits and lines prior to getting our pieces done, she delivered a caring and thoughtful experience that has led us to return to her on occasion. ... After getting a few small pieces done at Anvil -- a place that has always provided a reliable, safe, and comfortable space for me-- I was looking for an artist for my pops, who at the age of 61, wanted to immortalize our Pekingese whom he essentially raised from birth. After coming across Kaythleen's work on Anvil's socials, we were really impressed by her b/w portraits and line work, and decided to book an appointment. Not only did she deliver an amazing piece, but she also helped foster a core experience for my father who shared that she was patient, kind, and meticulous. Ever since, I have had multiple pieces done by Kaythleen -- the most recent of which was a miniature line portrait of our family home and of our Jack Russell. My mother, who was never big on ink felt compelled to get a small piece done and is scheduled in for another. It's become a true family affair!

came trying to get a friday the 13th tattoo, been watching them on ig for a couple of weeks and…read morelove the quality of their work. the shop looks awesome. however, they're falsely advertising $20 tattoos & up. when asked about a $20 tattoo THAT THEY HAVE UP ON THEIR WINDOWS (see pic attached) they then told us no thats wrong its gonna be $60 up. oh and on top of it all they claim their $20 tattoos were only 8am-9am. where is that information? nowhere on their ig. oh then the price went up even more for this small tattoo, cause if i wanted this on my ankle it was more cause "of the bone" lol. i have a whole half sleeve on my arm, including the elbow and i wasnt "charged" something for being on the bone. the fact you're just drawing people in to then be told by 2 people at a desk that dont have any tattoos, what a price would cost and that all prices PUBLICLY advertised are 5 years old and wrong? you just lost your artists business and i'm sure as hell if they knew what these 2 people were doing they'd even think its ridiculous.

And 22 years after my first one, that hasn't really been a problem, except for this old Celtic knot. It was never quite what I wanted it to be, and as I added more American traditional pieces around it, it just didn't fit me anymore. Aaron was such an incredible artist to work with. He found space and inspiration in my other pieces and made this look times better than I could have imagined. Hit him up whenever you need work done!
